WNPR’s Small Business Project is in Waterbury this week.

A special edition of Where We Live this Wednesday will come live from the Palace Theater in downtown Waterbury.

The Brass City has seen its share of hard times and economic upheaval, but revitalization efforts, many led by small business, are underway.

WNPR’s business reporter Harriet Jones visited the city recently for a rather chilly stroll around the downtown area, in the company of Main Street Waterbury’s Carl Rosa.
